“ Phuong Trang is a decent Vietnamese-restaurant that, on its best days, has above average food, and on its average days, is expensive for what it is. The inside of the restaurant always looks clean and presentable, with nice decoration all around the restaurant. Service is average, nothing to rave about or fuss about. Food-wise, comparing to other Vietnamese restaurants that I have frequented, most of their food is pretty good, but their broken rice plates could be better. I've noticed that the rice is often hard, as if it were undercooked, and the sides such as roasted chicken or meat is often cooked inconsistently. In terms of their pho, their broth is good, flavorful, and not watered down, however, their prices are quite high. At about $20 per bowl, I'm not sure that the taste warrants the price tag. Still, overall, this restaurant is probably the best Vietnamese restaurant I have been to in San Diego and they have a lot of different items on the menu, with most being above-average. ”

“ One of the best pho spots in SD. It's definitely one of our go to spots. The broth is so flavorful. Love the rare steak and tripe pho they load it up with the meat and tripe. Also their spring rolls there are so good. They also have so many different variety of Vietnamese food on their menu. Service there is always great and food usually comes out pretty quick. ”

“ Hands down one of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants in San Diego. The ca kho (catfish) is incredible, a must get for sure. I need to order the bo luc lac one of these days, because it's one of my favorite dishes and I am overcome with waves of jealousy any time I am there and see someone else order it. The com tam dishes are wonderful, super flavorful with fresh crunchy veg and I could eat the thit nuong every day forever. My one tiny ding is that their pho is perfectly fine but nothing mindblowing. It always super easy to park in this lot, and service is top notch. The only thing is that they very often only take cash because their credit card machines are seemingly always down. ”

“ I heard of Phuong Trang from a friend and decided to stop by for a weekend lunch. This spot is tucked away in a shopping center off Convoy and there was plenty of parking. Note that they only accept cash or venmo. I walked into their clean and spacious area and was greeted and seated right away. I ended up ordering their sizzling steak with fried rice ($20) and a Thai tea boba ($5). The sizzling steak was sizzling to perfection when they brought it to my table. The meat was perfectly tender and flavorful, and the fried rice was great. The serving size was good for two people so I got to take home the rest. I would definitely recommend this restaurant the next time you're in the area and craving some tasty and good quality food! ”

“ Pho was good. Summer roll was really bad, the skin was too dry and hard. The spring rolls were nice, a bit too hard outside too but next time get the pho for sure. Cash / Venmo only . ”

“ My colleagues recommended this place, checked out the reviews, read a few articles and glad to finally check this place out. AMBIANCE: Parking: Tight parking plaza so come early, carpool, or rideshare. Seating: Inside seating, plenty of room! Good for pairs or large groups. Total, maybe about 50 people. Vibes: Welcome to Convoy! A busy industrial-esque area with mainly a lot of eateries. The spot itself is pretty nice. A warm environment with simple homage to their Vietnamese culture here and there. The natural lighting is nice along with the Vietnamese elevator music. It's great for a solo food adventure or a group hangout FOOD: Garlic Butter Wings (Recommend) Delicious! A delightful crunch with a mix of spicy and savory flavors. The peppers, garlic, and green onions give it a good kick. Glazed Wings (Recommend) People usually are intimidated by fish sauce however this has a nice subtle taste to the wings. Reminds me a bit of sweet and sour, impressive how it maintains a good crunch. Fingerlicking good, especially as it's pretty sticky. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! I called ahead of time and my order was ready and transaction was relatively simple. TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Excellent! A wide menu, delicious food, reasonable prices, and a pleasant experience. There may be a lot of Vietnamese spots but this stands out with the range of delicious (classic and a bit modern) dishes to quality flavors. I wish Chef Tina Tran and Phuong Trang Team all the best! #RepresentASIAN TIPS: * Cash or Venmo only! ”

“ The food is always great here. Extremely fresh and healthy. We had the giant catfish tonight. We also had beef grape leaves and fried rolls. Everything's fresh and delicious and came out hot. Service is good Real friendly. Easy to park and didn't have to wait for a table. Highly recommend trying this place. ”

“ CASH or BUSINESS VENMO This place has been my steady go-to for solid Vietnamese eats in Kearny Mesa. Parking's generally easy (which is a relief on Convoy), and you can usually find a seat without needing a reservation. The vibe? Old-school Chinese/Vietnamese, nothing fancy but great for groups if you're keeping it casual. We ordered the char-grilled pork rice paper wraps ($17.50) and the catfish sautéed in fish sauce ($17.95). The wraps come with plenty of veggies and rice paper to roll your own. The pork's super flavorful with a nice char that hits the spot. Rolling those wraps was oddly satisfying, and by the end, I was pretty sure I could start a summer roll side hustle. The catfish is definitely a bolder choice. If you love a punchy, funky fish sauce that's caramelized to sweet savory glaze, you're in for a treat. The fish is soft, and the sauce is seriously addictive. Fair warning: this dish has bones, but the flavor makes it totally worth the extra attention. Service is quick and friendly, and while it's nothing flashy, this place is always a reliable option when you're craving Vietnamese comfort food. ”
